Discrepancy dev dependencies with NativeScript Angular

[jessorlisa]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am working on a NativeScript Angular project and I am confused about the dev dependencies. When I update the dev dependencies a fixed dependency of @angular/compiler-cli@8.2.0 is added
Output:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/update-ns-webpack --deps
Updating dev dependencies...
Adding dev dependency: @angular/compiler-cli@8.2.0

Updating the dev dependencies for @nativescript/angular results in a less strict requirement:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/update-app-ng-deps
[...]
Updated dependency @angular/compiler-cli to version: ~8.2.0.

Everything seems to be working fine with the latter.

Describe the solution you'd like
$ ./node_modules/.bin/update-ns-webpack --deps adds the same dependencies as $ ./node_modules/.bin/update-app-ng-deps (it does not matter which one).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Ignoring the discrepancy ;)

Hey @jessorlisa ,
Thanks for pointing this difference. The code for updating dependencies via update-ns-webpack script is available here. Maybe you can send us a PR to resolve this issue?
